Naruto: Sasuke Uchiha Returns from Soul Society

Because Sasuke slowly withdrew his hand and instead gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist.

His left hand gripped the scabbard, his right hand rested on the hilt, and his dark eyes calmly gazed at the seal before him.

Sasuke's lips curled into a barely perceptible, cold smile.

I know what you're thinking. You just want to use me to escape, and then devour me and Naruto together.

However, you seem to have misunderstood one thing.

Even if they let you out, it's just changing the small cage to a big one.

He was absolutely confident that he could subdue the escaped fox demon again.

With that thought, he slowly drew his Zanpakuto from its sheath, the blade tracing a cold line in the dark space.

He released his grip, and the Zanpakuto hovered in front of him. In that instant, his aura became sharp and murderous, and a pure spiritual pressure burst forth!

He raised his eyes, and lightning seemed to be brewing deep within his dark pupils.

The deep chanting resounded throughout the entire sealed space.

"Thunder Kakeru, Blade Kakeru, Takemikaru!"

—Carve out thunder, transform it into a sharp blade, Takemikazuchi!

Boom!!!

The moment the words fell, a violent black arc of electricity erupted from the blade, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, illuminating the entire dark underground sewer with flickering light!

The terrifying spiritual pressure even caused the Nine-Tails' enormous body to tense up involuntarily.

However, this violent scene lasted only a moment.

Sasuke reached out and grasped the "Takemikazuchi" that was floating in the air.

hum-

With a soft hum, all the emitted black electric arcs were instantly drawn back into the blade, forming dense thundercloud patterns, and the thunderous sound disappeared.

The form of the Zanpakuto did not change drastically; only the blade became more profound.

Only a faint, almost imperceptible, black glint lingered on the slender blade.

All power was contained to its absolute limit.

"Then let me see just how sturdy this cage left behind by the Fourth Hokage really is."

Sasuke raised his hand and casually swung his sword.

An invisible slash landed silently on the massive gate.

scoff-

A soft tearing sound rang out.

A thin crack quietly appeared on the sealing talisman.

At first, the Nine-Tailed Fox had a hint of disdain, as if it were watching a good show, but when it saw the crack, its expression froze.

The disdain on Nine-Tailed Fox's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a twisted smile of ecstatic joy.

Sasuke didn't stop; one after another, extremely refined sword beams landed on the seal.

scoff!scoff!

Cracks spread rapidly, like a spider web.

The power of the seal is being destroyed at a visible rate.

"That's right, that's it! Faster, kid!"

Nine-Tails roared madly in his heart, "Hurry up, hurry up and completely break this damn cage open, then I can get out right away!"

Its eyes were fixed on the ever-widening crack, and it could already see the dawn of freedom.

The seal continued to break, but it was not completely released.

Even so, an unprecedentedly large amount of chakra surged out from the crack like a flood bursting its banks.

The moment Sasuke sensed this power, his heart skipped a beat.

He seemed to have underestimated the power of this demon fox; even the portion that had been revealed was already greater than any captain-level Grim Reaper he had ever seen.

This force is beyond his current ability to handle.

Outside, at the third training ground.

"Aaaaaah—!!!"

Naruto Uzumaki suddenly let out a shrill scream, curled up on the ground, and trembled all over.

A surge of red chakra, like boiling magma, erupted from his body and instantly enveloped him.

His skin began to peel off, his nails became sharp, and three crimson tails made of chakra suddenly lashed out from behind him, slamming heavily to the ground.

"Roar--!"

Naruto instantly lost consciousness, letting out a beast-like growl.

The Hokage's office.

"boom!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed his pipe heavily onto the table, stood up abruptly, and stared intently at the crimson figure in the crystal ball.

"This is... the Nine-Tails' chakra! How could it suddenly go out of control?!"

"Three tails..."

Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Oh no, the problem lies with Sasuke!"

Kakashi instantly realized, "Sasuke just put his hand on Naruto, so he probably broke the seal on the Nine-Tails!"

"Quickly, issue the highest level of emergency! All Anbu members, proceed immediately to the Third Training Ground and, at all costs, subdue Naruto!" The Third Hokage reacted and quickly issued the order.

Chapter 14 My name is Kurosaki Ichigo!

Within Naruto's mental world.

Sasuke looked at the Nine-Tails, whose power was running rampant, and decisively stopped swinging his sword, a hint of seriousness appearing in his eyes.

It seems I... went too far.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Nine-Tailed Fox burst into wild laughter, its voice shaking the entire space.

Its vertical pupils were full of mockery and pleasure.

"I really underestimated you, kid. I didn't expect you to actually have the ability to shake this seal!"

Its tone shifted abruptly, becoming chilling and menacing: "However, you seem to be overestimating yourself!"

Before he finished speaking, a surge of Nine-Tails chakra, several times more concentrated than before, burst forth from the crack in the fence and quickly condensed into a ferocious, enormous claw outside the door!

"Let me gouge out those eyes of yours first!"

The chakra claws, carrying destructive power, unleashed a whirlwind capable of tearing apart souls, and slammed down towards Sasuke's head!

Sasuke's pupils contracted sharply. Faced with the overwhelming aura of death, he held nothing back, and his spiritual pressure exploded without restraint.

"Takemikazuchi!"

Sasuke let out a low shout, and the Zanpakuto in his hand, which had been concealed, changed shape once again.

Om-!

All the restrained cold light vanished instantly, replaced by raging black electric snakes that coiled around the blade like living creatures, emitting deafening roars!

The entire dark space was once again illuminated by the lightning, revealing Sasuke's resolute face.

"Thunderstorm!"

With a sweeping motion, three condensed black lightning pillars were unleashed, creating ear-piercing explosions wherever they passed, and collided violently with the crimson chakra giant claw in mid-air!

The two energies, pitch black and crimson, mysteriously annihilated each other at the moment of collision, stirring up a terrifying gale visible to the naked eye.

The wind pressure was so strong that Sasuke could barely stand, and the surface of his mental world was whipped up into towering waves.

He instinctively raised his other arm to shield his eyes.

The Nine-Tailed Fox's roar seemed to gradually become distorted and indistinct in the gale...

After an unknown amount of time, the sound of the wind gradually subsided.

Sasuke slowly lowered his arm and opened his eyes.

A large car with its blinding high beams blared past him, whizzing right next to him and making the hem of his death outfit flutter wildly in the wind.

It seemed as if the truck had brought about the earlier gust of wind.

Sasuke stood by the bustling highway, slowly raising his head to look at the familiar high-rise buildings that stood like a forest in the distance.

This is... Karakura Town?

He looked down at the "Takemikazuchi" in his hand; the black arcs of electricity wrapped around the blade had quietly subsided, returning to their concealed form.

"hateful!"

Sasuke let out a low growl, suppressing his anger.

Some were angry at their own miscalculation and at the plan going off track.

What does it mean to return to this world?

This means he's taken another step further away from that man and from revenge!

"Konoha, the Nine-Tailed Fox... I will definitely go back."

But the question is, how do we get back?

He closed his eyes, trying to delve into his inner world and find the power that allowed him to travel between the two realms, but he had no clue.

For him, the passage between the two worlds remained an unknown door.
